Nonprofit Organizations in Saskatoon

The Canadian Wildlife Federation is Canada's largest conservation organization. The CWF offers it's WILD Outside program in Saskatoon. WILD Outside is a year-round, no-cost, inclusive, and barrier-free program. Our only requirement is that you are within the ages of 15 to 18. There is no prior outdoor or conservation experience required, just a willingness to learn and have fun!  The aim of the program is to engage young people in outdoor adventure, conservation, and community service projects. With the support of program leaders, you will be given the opportunity to collaboratively plan and execute your own conservation service projects and outdoor adventures. Program structure consists of one full-day (Saturday or Sunday) event per month, as well as an optional weekday workshop/educational activity. You are encouraged to dedicate 120 hours per year to the program. Activities can include (but are not limited to) hiking, snowshoeing, canoeing, rock-climbing, kayaking, shoreline clean-ups, trail-building, citizen science, urban farming, and tree-planting, just to name a few examples. We’ll discuss participant interests and make it happen! Our program unites diverse youth in an engaging and immersive experience. Our objective is to develop leadership, confidence, and a “conservation ethic” in our participants.  

The Canadian Pride Historical Society (CPHS) is a non-profit organization with the goal of documenting the Pride Movement in Canada. The CPHS’s vision is to inspire conversations about the future of the Pride Movement in Canada as we share the stories of our past. Our goal is to: Record and preserve the history of the Pride Movement in Canada so that future generations can understand why we have Pride, and Provide education resources through digital and physical exhibits on the history of the Pride Movement in Canada. This is important as Prides have served an important role in the GSRD rights movement and within their local communities, however, very little has been documented and shared about their history and impact.

In 1992, a small group of volunteers began a movement in Toronto’s High Park. They brought together 1,500 people to raise awareness and raised $85,000 for the breast cancer cause. This moment marked the beginning of what was to become the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure. It is now Canada’s largest single-day, volunteer-led event supporting the breast cancer cause. In 1997, the trailblazing partnership between the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) and CIBC began. On February 1, 2017, CBCF and the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) joined forces under the CCS banner. Together, CCS, CIBC and thousands of dedicated Canadians continue to raise vital funds for the breast cancer cause through this signature event. We are grateful to CIBC, their employees and clients for their longstanding support and the countless volunteers, participants and donors that are helping to change the future of breast cancer. This event unites an incredible collective of Canadians who are a force-for-life in the face of breast cancer and want to show their support. It is an inspirational day that raises important funds for CCS, the largest charitable funder of breast cancer research in Canada. CCS invests these dollars into groundbreaking breast cancer research, compassionate support services, trusted cancer information and advocacy on behalf of all Canadians. Because of the funds Canadians raise through the CIBC Run for the Cure, we know more than ever before about how to prevent, diagnose, treat and live with and beyond breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian women. It touches the lives of so many families every day. The CIBC Run for the Cure gives families, friends and supporters the opportunity to come together to honour and celebrate their loved ones. And to make a real difference for all Canadians impacted by breast cancer. Saskatoon hosts over 1,000 participants at the Run for the Cure event each year at Prairieland Park, raising thousands of dollars each year. We need your help to make our local event amazing!

The Canadian Cancer Society works tirelessly to save and improve lives. Thanks to our donors and volunteers, we’re able to fund groundbreaking cancer research into all types of cancer, offer support services to help people better manage life with cancer, shape health policies to prevent cancer and support those living with the disease, and offer trusted cancer information for all Canadians.

THE CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY BE a part of a collective of people united by a singular focus where no Canadian fears cancer.  BE bold by committing your time to driving positive change alongside families, friends, healthcare teams, donors, scientists, advocates and all those who strive to make the cancer journey one that is supported in every way. We believe that life is bigger than cancer. We believe your support is stronger than cancer.
